The Power in the Shadow
Chapter 3 - The Destruction of the Family

A young boy cut down a tree in the forest by himself. He is none other than seven-year-old Yuichi.

Yuichi has been taught how to cut trees since he was six years old. Every day Yuichi would cut down trees and sell them under the mountain village.

"I have cut down two trees, I think this is enough to be used as firewood and sold in the village" said Yuichi.

Yuichi then brought the wooden trunk he had cut into a small house a little far away.

Yuichi needs to walk for more than 30 minutes to get to his house. Along the way, Yuichi only sees a pile of snow around him because it is currently snow season

"The cold!!! Is this what it's like to be a less capable child" said Yuichi.

Yuichi kept walking until he almost got to his house. When he got home, he smelled human blood. He also saw blood splashing towards his house.

"Blood?!!!" said Yuichi.

Yuichi quickly dropped the wood he cut down and rushed towards his house. Yuichi moved very quickly.

After arriving at the front yard of the house, Yuichi saw his father's body lying on the ground covered with dirt.

"D-dad?" yuichi said nervously who could not believe what he saw.

Yuichi raised his father's body and looked at him. She cried because she did not expect that her quiet life would be such a disaster.

He then went into the house to see his mother's condition. She still hopes that her mother is okay. He looked around the room but could not find his mother until he got on the roof.

Yuichi saw his mother's body covered in blood. His hands and feet were cut off from his body.

"What's this?" yuichi said as he approached his mother's body.

Yuichi was sad to mix with anger. He could not calm down like when he was still a god of death.

Yuichi leaves the house and the tomb to the deep forest to train himself. He swore to kill the killers of his parents.

"Hows it? You killed Yoshito." asked a man.

"Yes, I killed him. I have killed him and his wife has also killed him." replied a woman who was a contract killer.

"good. This is your pay." said the man, throwing a bag of gold coins.

The woman received the bag and disappeared like she had never met the man.

"You've died Yoshito. I can receive the sword of our family's inheritance." said the man with an evil smile.

*****

Yuichi is currently walking through the forest. He was a little wary as his cultivation level was still low. He's been walking for a few days.

"Gee! There is a good cave to increase my cultivation to a higher realm" said Yuichi.

Yuichi shot towards the cave at a rapid speed. The cave he found was quite large. After he got there he looked around for monsters or not. After feeling safe, Yuichi immediately lay down and slept because he was exhausted through a long journey.

[Interesting fact: Kaneshiro Yoshita (Yuichi's father) is actually from a fairly high noble family]

This novel is similar to kuktivation, but the difference is that ki is converted into mana. And pedanh techniques and other weapons will be exchanged for magic!!!.

Character naming is based on Japanese names while naming continents, empires, kingdoms, and us based on English names.
